The two-floor boutique high-end fashion boutique was designed by the brand\u2019s co-founder, Giada Forte, and her partner, creative director Robert Vattilana.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Red clay bricks have been used to line a majority of surfaces on the shop\u2019s ground floor. In some areas, the bricks are laid flat, while in others they\u2019ve been stacked horizontally and vertically to create an almost pixelated surface effect.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The bricks go on to appear in the outdoor courtyard, which lies at the back of the store. At its centre is a Japanese maple tree.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brass \u2013 which Forte and Vattilana say is part of their \u201cmaterial grammar\u201d \u2013 has been used to craft several fixtures in the store, including the wiry clothing rails, organically shaped mirrors and ultra-thin treads on the stairs.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Grey ceppo lombardo stone has been used to create a chunky service-counter and the base of greenery-filled planters. A block of pale-yellow onyx also forms the first step of the staircase.\u00a0A couple of sculptural armchairs and chaise-longues have been added to bring a more domestic feel to space, as well as a couple of paintings and postcards from far-flung destinations.<\/p>\n
